We are subject to surges here, with all the storms. We have protection after the meter, but I was just wondering about this thing.

Washington governor: Climate change ‘pounding on the door’ | The Hill

More shallowness instead of thinking, logic, and a PLAN.

Note:  leaving a 12-pack of soda cans in the back of your car for an afternoon in 115 degree heat yields pregnant soda cans.
Looks like 1 of them may have burst, but I think the soda immediately evaporated....

Watched a lot of documentaries on WWII yesterday and it got me thinking.

We've had a lot of wars, and still do.

How much does war contribute to climate change?

Militaries contribute a fair bit, I don't know the percentage, of CO2 produced by humans.  Military jets consume a lot of fuel, though there are a lot more civilian airliners of course.  Most Navy ships burn oil.  Then there is the energy that goes into making weapons, and explosives.  Good question.

The more I look for any kind of plan and find silly editorials that we need to burn less oil/coal the more I'm convinced we're going to run this experiment, there won't be any substantive reductions in CO2, or even leveling of it, globally, for a long time.

Fires, yes, though the oil would have been burned at some point anyway.  Explosives don't release a lot of CO2, the release a lot of NOx compounds.   It's likely a factor.

There isn't comparatively much CO2 from volcanoes annually.  They do throw a lot of SOx and soot into the atmosphere which usually has a cooling effect.

we have this Saharan dust thing over us right now. Doesn't seem to be doing any cooling.

Aerosols in the stratosphere would induce cooling.  It can be quite prominent.
